When you’re listening to your music does it ever sound scratched even when it’s playing from your iTunes? The same duplicated song keeps popping up in your playlist forcing you to walk over and skip to the next song. This used to be a common occurance for me when I put my iTunes on Shuffle while cooking dinner. I used TidySongs to remedy my duplicate problem.

Dan Gribbin from Macapper reviewed TidySongs and pointed out the features of the program that he found helpful. He found that artwork for iTunes was one of the more helpful features. From his blog: “It looks up the songs in a selected playlist (you can choose to scan your entire library as well) and checks them against it’s sources (I’m assuming one of them to be Amazon). When a discrepancy is detected, it presents its findings to you and you can choose to keep the current artwork, add the new artwork, or input your own URL where the correct artwork is located, and it will download it for you.”
What’s your favorite option with TidySongs? I love seeing the large artwork for iTunes that TidySongs found on my Apple tv. I had some missing art before TidySongs, and now with the corrected artwork, it looks nice when I’m playing my music.

Samuel from Tech I Share told his readers about finding album artwork for iTunes with TidySongs. From Tech I Share: “I never dared to organize my 15 GB music collection by correcting those ID3 tags manually, because 80% of my songs have wrong information. Most of my songs have misspelled song, artist, album information, missing album art or information about artist, wrong album art or information in artist and album fields”

JCruzs needed TidySongs because a lot of his albums were missing album art that had been imported into his music library from cds and other music sources where the art was not available. He found TidySongs helpful because he used it to automatically update the artwork without having to search for each missing piece of artwork.

iTunes and other programs rely on correct information in your songs to find album art. Not TidySongs. Even if your song names have misspellings or missing info, TidySongs' intelligent database technology will find the matching artwork.
